Routine dental care for pets is every bit as important as it is for humans, and Boyer Capstone offers top-of-the-line pet dentistry. Periodontal disease is one of the most common health issues in our pets, and studies have shown that by the age of three, 80% of dogs and 70% of cats are showing signs of it. Not only is it unhealthy, but it’s also painful—leading to a decreased quality of life for your pet. We recommend annual oral and dental exams for your pet and routine dental cleanings as indicated.
Dental Health = Whole Body Health
It’s about so much more than just a clean mouth and fresh breath (although that is a nice perk). Without routine dental care, periodontal disease becomes advanced. This not only leads to pain and tooth loss, but it also allows harmful bacteria to spread throughout your pet’s system, causing damage to the kidneys, liver, and heart.
We offer complete dental care services for pets, including:
- Dental exams
- Cleaning & polishing
- Extractions
Signs that your pet might be having a dental issue include:
- Bad breath
- Drooling
- Difficulty eating or chewing oddly
- Reduced appetite
- Pawing or rubbing at the mouth
- Loose, broken, or bleeding teeth
- Behavioral changes
If you notice any of these in your pet, schedule an exam with your veterinarian right away.
Prevention Means Protection
Dental disease is a preventable issue, and we strive to provide you with the at-home tools and in-clinic treatment to maintain good oral health for the life of your pet! Besides regular professional dental care, one of the best things that pet owners can do is brush their pet’s teeth at home. If you’re unsure where to start or how to brush your pet’s teeth, our staff is happy to help and can even provide a tooth-brushing demo.
